Mission Statement
First Peoples Fund's mission is to honor and support the Collective Spirit of First Peoples artists and culture bearers. Collective Spirit is that which moves each one of us to stand up and make a difference, to pass on ancestral knowledge and simply extend a hand of generosity. First Peoples Fund recognizes the power of art and culture to bring about positive change in Native communities, beginning with individual artists and their families.
About This Cause
First Peoples Fund was founded in 1995 to spread understanding of the diversity and value of Native art and culture and has been headquartered in Rapid City, South Dakota since 1998. We work nationally to bring an arts and culture-based approach to strengthening Native communities. We are rooted in the traditional values of generosity and respect, wisdom and humility, integrity and fortitude. First Peoples Fund sustains culture and cultivates entrepreneurial initiatives for and alongside Native artists and tradition keepers. Each year, hundreds of Native artists and culture bearers gain business and leadership skills, significantly increase their personal and family income, and are inspired to meaningfully sustain their culture and communities through our programs. Our work is supported by a broad range of donors, sponsors and foundations.
